comparing Mysql spatial extension with
postgis<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>hello,<BR><BR>I am relatively new in this field. I
am designing a database to store the events extracted from the oceans. This
project later demands of publishing data on web. I am not able to decide which
database to use. Mysql with spatial extension or the postgis one. I would
prefer to use <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">windows platform</SPAN>.
<BR><BR>Can someone suggest or can provide me with some links that compare the
two databases. <BR><BR>Thanks and Regards<BR>Parang Saraf<BR><A
